Default Request: Various Painted Calipers on a Black Car

I am trying to decide what color to paint my calipers. I'd like to see some different colors and what brand and color paint it is.

thanks.



EDIT: How about the G2 Gold paint? Anyone try that?

Regardless of color, get the G2 Caliper Painting Kit. That is, if you are in fact keeping stock calipers.

Color is up to you. Do you have other parts on your car? Red is safe, and matches tails. If you have a Cusco cage and some blue lights, etc, maybe Blue calipers would be nice. Gold and silver would look tacky. Black would be clean but wouldnt stand out. Red is going to be your best bet, IMO... But I'd leave the calipers stock color.

I think that silver is the most understated color and flows the best with the car. The red just draws attention to the fact that you painted your stock calipers. the silver just cleans up the look of the calipers. My $.02

Seems like everyone goes red. I had considered silver. I had hoped to see what the G2 gold looks like.

As for it being tacky, I dont know. I think at least doing them silver makes the car look clean if nothing else.
